     | 5,580 views

    The ushering in of the church of our Lord knew nothing of prayerless pews and lame excuses. The early Church began in that upper Room with about 120. They were in one accord, in one place lead by one Spirit.

    It all Began on Pentecost! Intro: As we travel thru the book of Acts our first stop will be Acts Chapter two. This is where the Church began. What was the message of the church? What was the purpose of the church. How did the church come about? How relevant is the church? All these ...read more

    Lying To The Holy Spirit Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 4, 2017
     | 15,953 views

    If God killed every Christian who lied, the churches would be empty. This does not excuse lying, but it does acknowledge our fallibility. The message is a study of one couple that attempted to deceive God and what He did about their deceit.

    “A man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, and with his wife’s knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds and brought only a part of it and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, ‘Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit ...read more

    Moral Issues: Fornication Series

    based on 294 ratings
     | 27,430 views

    Fornication is not just a sin against another person, it is also a sin against ourselves.

    INTRO: To most people, the word “fornication” means very little. They never hear the word used unless spoken by a preacher, or they stumble across it in the Bible. Therefore, preaching about fornication sometimes does little good because people think we are talking about some other kind of deviant ...read more

    Lieing to ourselves, others, and God is a foolish way to try to cover our sins.

    Who will rescue us from ourselves - from our lives of profound inconsistency.

    (Part of this sermon was inspired by a message I read at "30 Minutes One Sunday" - but beyond the initial comments, the remainder of the sermon went in a completely different direction than that which I read!) Many of us here today have had, or still have, many problems in our lives. We are ...read more

    Forgiving ourselves can be one of the most difficult things we can do.

    INTRODUCTION • Throughout the years, you will hear a lot of sermons on forgiveness. We are told we are supposed to forgive others as Jesus has forgiven us. We are told we are supposed to forgive and forget the evils others have perpetrated against us! • One sermon that we do not hear a lot deals ...read more
